Oswal Pumps IPO: The initial public offering (IPO) of Oswal Pumps Ltd begins today (Friday, June 13) and will close on Tuesday, June 17. On Thursday, it raised ₹ 416.2 crore from anchor investors just a day before its share sale opened to the public for subscriptions.
Among the anchor investors are ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund (MF), Kotak Mahindra MF, Aditya Birla Sun Life MF, Quant MF, Societe Generale, Edelweiss Life Insurance, BNP Paribas, the Paris-based asset manager Amundi, and the financial services firm Capital Group, as per a circular posted on BSE's website.
Oswal Pumps IPO price band has been set between ₹ 584 and ₹ 614 per share for its total initial public offering of ₹ 1,387 crore. Investors can place bids for a minimum of 24 equity shares and in multiples of 24 shares thereafter.
The offering will be conducted via the book-building method, where a maximum of 50% of the net offer will be reserved for qualified institutional buyers on a proportionate basis, at least 15% will be allocated to non-institutional bidders, and a minimum of 35% will be set aside for retail individual bidders.
Oswal Pumps started its operations in 2003 by producing low-speed monoblock pumps and has since expanded its production to include grid-connected submersible pumps and electric motors.
The company manufactures solar-powered and grid-connected submersible and monoblock pumps, as well as electric motors, including induction and submersible motors, along with solar modules, and sells these products under the 'Oswal' brand.
In FY24, Oswal Pumps' revenue from operations surged by 97% to ₹ 758.6 crore, up from ₹ 385 crore in the previous year, while profit climbed to ₹ 97.66 crore from ₹ 34.20 crore.
Subscription for the public issue will open at 10:00 IST during Friday's deals.
As per BP Equities, the company has notably decreased its debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio from 2.1x in FY22 to 0.4x in FY24, while the ratio for 9MFY25 is at 0.9x. The rise in debt was primarily attributed to a significant increase in short-term financing.
Nevertheless, despite the debt increase, financial comfort remains intact, as evidenced by a robust growth in its interest coverage ratio, which improved from 4.6x to 11.2x between FY22 and 9MFY25.
The valuation of the issue stands at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.2x at the upper price band based on FY25 earnings (annualized), making it relatively more affordable compared to its competitors. Taking all these compelling aspects into account, they suggest a "SUBSCRIBE" recommendation for this issue.
SBICAP Securities noted that the firm has an order book amounting to ₹ 1,100 crore, which is approximately 0.8 times its annualized revenue for 9MFY25, along with an extra bidding pipeline of around ₹ 3,200 crore that suggests good growth potential.
However, a challenge for the business is its reliance on government contracts and potential delays in cash flow. The brokerage has advised investors to SUBSCRIBE to the issue for a long-term investment perspective.
Oswal Pumps IPO GMP today is +71. This indicates Oswal Pumps share price was trading at a premium of ₹ 71 in the grey market, according to investorgain.com.
Considering the upper end of the IPO price band and the current premium in the grey market, the estimated listing price of Oswal Pumps share price is indicated at ₹ 685 apiece, which is 11.56% higher than the IPO price of ₹ 614.
According to the recent seven sessions of grey market activity, the current IPO GMP is showing an upward trend and is anticipated to have a robust listing. The minimum GMP is ₹ 0.00, and the maximum GMP is ₹ 88, as noted by experts from investorgain.com.
'Grey market premium' indicates investors' readiness to pay more than the issue price.

Intel to slash factory jobs in new round of layoffs starting July, more cuts likely to follow
Intel is preparing to implement significant job cuts at its manufacturing sites beginning mid-July, marking its first major workforce reduction since Lip-Bu Tan assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer in March. The layoffs, which are expected to conclude by the end of the month, form part of a broader strategic overhaul as the company seeks to streamline operations and sharpen its competitive edge in the global semiconductor internal memo, reviewed by The Oregonian/OregonLive, confirmed the timeline for the layoffs but withheld specific details on the number of positions affected or the exact locations. According to sources familiar with the matter, individual business units have been granted autonomy in managing the reductions, provided they meet financial benchmarks established by senior company has framed the cuts as essential to its ongoing transformation. In a statement, Intel explained, 'Removing organisational complexity and empowering our engineers will enable us to better serve the needs of our customers and strengthen our execution.' It further emphasised that these decisions were made following 'careful consideration' and pledged that employees impacted by the layoffs would be treated with 'care and respect.'The move reflects growing pressure on Intel to address persistent challenges, including falling demand in the PC and laptop sectors, eroding sales figures, and intensified competition in chip manufacturing, particularly in the artificial intelligence (AI) space. Competitors such as Nvidia and AMD have surged ahead in AI-focused hardware, a domain where analysts have repeatedly pointed to Intel's this latest round of redundancies represents the first under Tan's leadership, it follows a difficult recent history for Intel's workforce. In 2023, the company slashed approximately 15,000 positions under then-CEO Pat Gelsinger, including around 3,000 jobs in Oregon alone. Despite these cuts, Intel remains Oregon's largest private-sector employer, with an estimated 20,000 staff based in Washington over impending layoffs has been swirling among Intel's Oregon-based employees since April, when Tan, during an investor call, alluded to possible reductions but refrained from disclosing specifics or outlining a full strategic plan. This lack of clarity has fuelled growing frustration among staff, who have voiced concerns over what they perceive as insufficient transparency from senior his predecessor, Tan has maintained a notably lower public profile since stepping into the CEO role. Nevertheless, he is expected to unveil a comprehensive transformation blueprint later this year. Industry watchers anticipate that this plan will prioritise strengthening Intel's manufacturing capabilities, expanding its AI footprint, and restoring investor confidence, all while positioning the firm to navigate the increasingly competitive semiconductor landscape Intel embarks on this difficult phase of its restructuring, the company's long-term strategy will likely come under intense scrutiny from both employees and market analysts in the months ahead. advertisement

Rare earth, rarer nod: Indian firms' magnet waitlist doubles in 2 weeks, sends industry into supply tailspin
The number of India-based companies awaiting licences from China's commerce ministry to procure rare earth magnets has nearly doubled to 21 from 11 two weeks ago, according to people familiar with the matter. These include Bosch India , Marelli Powertrain India , Mahle Electric Drives India, TVS Motor and Uno Minda , they said. Sona Comstar , whose application was recently rejected by China's commerce ministry due to procedural issues, has reapplied and is among the 21 companies, said a senior industry executive. 'These companies have duly filled in and got endorsed the end-user certificate and shipped the requisite documents to their suppliers for procuring rare earth magnets from China, but licences are yet to be awarded by the government there,' said the executive, who did not wish to be identified. It comes in the wake of China's April 4 order mandating exporters that ship medium and heavy rare earth magnets to seek a licence from its commerce department after getting an end-user certificate from the buyer. The certificate requires buyers to make certain guarantees. These include the guarantee that these items will not be used for storing, manufacturing, producing or processing weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. Although the order had come in response to Donald Trump's tariffs, the US President this week announced a bilateral trade deal under which China will supply rare earth magnets to the US. Meanwhile, Indian authorities are in the process of reaching out to their counterparts in China via diplomatic channels to secure meetings for a dialogue to resolve the issue, but not much has happened on that front yet, said the sources. While some automotive parts makers in Europe recently got approvals to source rare earth magnets, their Indian arms are yet to get a go-ahead from China's commerce ministry. The issue is complicated by the two nations' tense business and political relationship, experts said. As per the latest data collated by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers, 52 companies based in the nation source magnets from China to supply to automobile manufacturers across India. If licences are not awarded soon, industry stakeholders fear disruptions in production as stocks are set to run out in early July. India imported 870 tonnes of rare earth magnets valued at ₹306 crore in 2024-25. 'While the value of imports compared to the industry size is minuscule, vehicles cannot be manufactured even if we are short of one component where a rare earth magnet is being used,' said an executive.

Winds of hope: Reinventing India's energy resources
Wind is ever present and never the same. It saves lives and is a source of energy. India is the fourth-largest wind energy producer globally. Wind energy is creating wonders. Ministry of New and Renewable Energy announced that India's wind energy capacity reached 50.04 GW as of April 2025. According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), world could generate up to 72 terawatts of electricity just from wind. That's more than enough to meet the world's energy needs multiple times over. Major wind-rich states include Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Rajasthan, which collectively account for over 90 per cent of the nation's capacity. According to experts, by the end of this decade, wind is expected to become a major source of global renewable electricity generation. The world observes 'Wind Day' every year on June 15. The first Wind Day was organised by European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) in 2007. Later, in 2009, it became a world event when the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) joined the initiative. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has set an ambitious target of 140 GW of wind energy by 2030, including 30 GW from offshore wind. India's renewable mission is backed by strong policy frameworks, auctions, and global partnerships. Development of wind power in India began in December 1952 under an initiation of a project by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). It established a wind power sub-committee under Nilakantan .The sub-committee extensively researched on surface winds in India and identified several spots for generating wind energy. The large scale wind power development began in 1985. The first rooftop wind turbine to generate green and sustainable energy, was manufactured by a Hyderabad-based MSME under 'Make in India' programme in 2016. As per MNRE data, Telangana has a wind power potential of 24.83 GW at 120 meters and 54.7 GW at 150 meters above ground level, indicating significant opportunity for wind energy development in the state. Wind power generates electricity without burning fossil fuels. There is no air pollution, and it doesn't emit greenhouse gases. Unlike coal or nuclear power, wind turbines do not require water for cooling, conserving this precious resource in a water-stressed country. Wind farms coexist with agriculture, allowing dual land use without harming biodiversity. Economic Development Wind is a domestic resource, reducing India's dependence on imported coal and oil. Diversification of the energy mix enhances grid resilience and supports India's transition to a low-carbon economy. Wind energy plays a crucial role in meeting India's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. It reduces millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, helping to minimize global temperature rise below 2°C. India is now recognized as a key player in the global energy transition. Its commitment to renewable targets has attracted foreign direct investment (FDI) from countries like Germany, Denmark, the US, and the UK. India has partnered with nations through the Global Wind Energy Council to set standards, share innovation, and co-develop offshore projects. Many Indian wind energy majors are emerging as global suppliers of latest technologies and positioning India as a potential wind turbine manufacturing hub for the Global South. With wind energy forming a major part of its green energy portfolio, India is making a case for just, inclusive and equitable climate leadership, especially among developing countries. Wind energy's variability challenges grid stability, highlighting the urgent need for advanced energy storage solutions like battery and pumped hydro systems to ensure reliable, round-the-clock power supply. India is all poised to exploit and capitalize the offshore wind resources in the country, and, generate an everlasting asset for the future.
